Hven't posted in a while...I've been at (and still am at) beautiful Curry College for a 3 week orientation. We went to Dave & Buster's last week and I actually saw some coins in one of those prize machines with the prizes all hanging on those rotating things and you press the button to win the prize. If you didn't get that description thats OK, my point is they had coins for a prize at an arcade. They were crappy coins from what I could tell but have any of you guys seen that before?
Yeah, I've actually seen it quite often in the machines you're talking about as well as those quarter machines where you drop in your quarter to try to "push" all the other quarters over the edge. It's fairly common to stock those machines with "rare" coinage to make the prizes seem more valuable. Of course, you'd have to spend about $25 in quarters to get that $5 Franklin half.
I'm actually really good at those games, especially whistle stop...I have a large collectionof coins that I've won from there...usually I go for the silver halves=p If I spend a dollar, I usually win one:hail:
